The School Committee has moved on – and so should
we.
The fact of the matter is that they have decided to ignore
the will of the public.
We, as the voters, have no choice left but to
deliver our verdict.
First, and foremost, we have no choice but to elect
Ray Page, Scott Lazo and Christopher Olivo.
The remaining two candidates, LeAnn Pate and Bent
Abrahamson, simply have no place on the committee.
LeAnn is, more than anything else, an advocate for
special ed. While I realize that this is an important issue, the reality is
that 20% to 25% of school spending nationwide is devoted to this issue. We need
people who will focus on the needs of the core constituency of the district.
